TWEEN GOTHS?

The Blackadder inversion of Scrooge is one of the best parts of that series. 

I was under the impression the SW Holiday Special was a Thanksgiving thing, not Christmas (it ran on Nov 17).

"Pink polo shirt? LOL"

A Bellona sighting!  That thread was ghastly, bet she never forgot who Jobriath was again.

I read about a Hollywood bodyguard once who went to a mansion around 1989 and saw a naked twelve-year-old boy chasing a shrieking Kim Basinger around the pool.  Mentioning this to a colleague, he was then informed "dude, that was Prince".

Rhinoceros takes me back to summer nights in 1992 so goddamn hard.

All we have is our music, our legions of fans, our millions of dollars, and our youth!

Nichol's dad is an old-school Mainer WASP and she ain't getting them out while he's alive.

Changed man there tonight.  You can only piss off the jerk for so long.

I love Webster.  He saw the skull beneath the skin.  Jacobean tragedy itself is intimate and (dare I say) incestuous.  It was all about toning down the Tudor epic-tragedy and focusing on the domestic horrors and the sin behind respectable doors.

Rex Banner and Baby, doing it for Jesus in a godless America.

Take about Jacobean horror, alright.  That was a grisly tableaux straight out of Webster's nightmares.  Mol for the Duchess of Malfi.

I never thought I'd cringe at a Gretchen Mol sex scene.  Oh Boardwalk, thou hast ruined me.

I really liked it.  The damp, crazy, rotting tone of it really got to me.

Ever seen a grown man naked?

She certainly works her heart out in that role.

Not to splice the Matterhorn, but it has in fact become a real game.

I was surprised by the absence of Smut's games from Drowning by Numbers.  His merry combination of chess, cricket and the Tarot seemed awesome and utterly unplayable.

He had a bout chasing the dragon when Pearl died, things may be similar here.
